• 7-12 years of progressive experience in project controls, project management, engineering, operations, or project risk management, including responsibility for complex capital or industrial projects.
• Demonstrated experience facilitating cross-functional risk workshops and maintaining project risk registers, mitigation plans, and governance reporting.
• Hands-on experience performing Monte Carlo analysis, tornado or sensitivity analysis, and Schedule Risk Analysis and translating the results into practical project decisions.
• Working knowledge of critical path method scheduling, schedule logic, float, constraints, risk-adjusted dates, and contingency concepts.
• Experience with scheduling, ERP, risk, or BI tools such as Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Deltek, Power BI, Excel, or comparable platforms.
• Effective written and verbal communication, facilitation, executive reporting, coaching, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Nice To Haves

• Project Management Professional (PMP), PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP), or another recognized project risk, project controls, cost, or schedule management certification.
• Experience supporting capital infrastructure, EPC, manufacturing, mission-critical, construction, or industrial programs.
• Experience integrating cost, schedule, procurement, readiness, and operational risks into portfolio-level reporting and contingency planning.
• Experience developing executive-level dashboards, quantitative risk reports, and recommendations for governance or stage-gate decisions.
• Experience using an enterprise risk management platform such as Riskonnect or another leading enterprise risk management system is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Maintain project risk registers and ensure timely, accurate updates from functional owners.
• Facilitate recurring project risk reviews and risk-identification workshops with Project Managers and functional subject-matter experts.
• Support integration of risk baselines into Project Directives, project execution plans, and early planning activities.
• Apply standard risk scoring, templates, documentation requirements, and escalation practices across active projects.
• Evaluate threats and opportunities, define response strategies, and monitor mitigation actions through closure.
• Plan and perform Monte Carlo simulations to quantify schedule and, where applicable, cost uncertainty and contingency requirements.
• Perform Schedule Risk Analysis using logic-linked project schedules, risk events, uncertainty ranges, correlations, and appropriate simulation assumptions.
• Develop and interpret tornado and sensitivity analyses to identify the primary drivers of project exposure.
• Assess confidence levels and risk-adjusted completion dates, milestones, and contingency scenarios; communicate assumptions, limitations, and results clearly.
• Partner with schedulers and Project Controls to review schedule quality, critical and near-critical paths, constraints, float, calendars, and model inputs before analysis.
• Conduct risk-identification sessions with Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Facilities, Operations, Quality, Finance, and Project Controls.
• Ensure functional owners define clear mitigation actions, accountable owners, target dates, and measurable outcomes.
• Coordinate cross-project and cross-site risk visibility, dependencies, and alignment.
• Coach project teams on risk ownership, cause-event-impact statements, response planning, and escalation expectations.
• Track factory-readiness risks, including tooling, layout changes, qualification, equipment receipt, commissioning, and staffing.
• Participate in readiness walks, floor reviews, build-planning meetings, and project reviews.
• Prepare risk summaries and supporting documentation for long-lead or at-risk procurement reviews.
• Ensure functional inputs align with PMO governance and applicable approval thresholds.
• Update risk dashboards and provide concise reporting for Summits, Touchpoints, readiness gates, and leadership reviews.
• Escalate overdue mitigations, high-severity risks, and emerging portfolio exposures to the appropriate leaders.
• Improve templates, tools, dashboards, quantitative-analysis practices, and scoring criteria.
• Capture lessons learned and incorporate findings into future project planning and risk baselines.
